Linking using the GCC toolset takes minutes compared to Codelite IDE
devshgraphicsprogramming opened this issue · 2 comments
Brief Issue Summary
Linking any target (library, executable) takes a vastly disproportional amount of time compared to other IDEs (Codelite) which have had their workspace/project files generated by CMake.
The project (and its targets) that I'm building come from this repository
https://github.com/buildaworldnet/IrrlichtBAW
Expected:
Linking (especially of single source executables) takes a similar amount of time as in other IDEs.
Apparent Behavior:
Compiling takes a really short time and seems to happen in parallel (multiple cc1plus processes running).
However the linking phase my system monitor only reports a single cc1plus and g++-7 processes running with 12% and 0% CPU usage respectively.
This is despite my CMake containing the -fuse-ld=gold (the new parallel linker) option in the linker options.
CMake Tools Log
The log seems to hang for a very long while on the last .o object file built.
